Time To Mow The Lawn Today In Beaverton, Oregon

Today is February 12, 2011, I thought you would enjoy the passing of
the "fixing the lawn mower" torch down to Ethan today. The lawn mower
pull cord snapped last time I mowed back in October. Today was the day
to repair because the grass is beginning to grow again.Today is the earliest day of the year that I recall having to mow the lawn. 
Normally we make it to March...

Little League Hitting Practice In Beaverton, Oregon

Today Ethan got in some soft toss batting practice in preparation for
Little League season that starts in March. He got in 80 swings at
wiffle balls and tennis balls. One of the balls was hit hard enough to
wedge between the chain link fence of the backstop he was hitting
towards. That is our "White House" in the background with the tennis
ball jammed in the fence.
